My trip was from San Diego, CA, up thru Yosemite and Lake Tahoe then on to Crater Lake in Oregon, over to the Oregon coast and into Portland. From there I went up to Whidbey Island off Seattle in Washington to visit my dad. That was the midway point and I started my way back south, going east to Redmond, Oregon to see my mom for a few days. After that, I headed south again and worked my way over to the California coast via Hwy 36 in northern CA and stayed on the coast all the way back.

Hey mac nice 1290 SD.......to keep it OT ......but what really caught my eye is the '72 or '73 BMW 2002 O==00==OIf that is the original color then I'm guessing it's a '73. The other orange was more like the '90's KTM orange called Colorado as you probably know. I owned a '72 2002 ("too" not a "tii" ) from 1975 until 1986 in Colorado Orange with a black interior. It was my daily driver for all of those years, That one got totaled (long, long story) and I still have two more, another '72 with two side draft Weber's, Schrick camshaft, valve springs, Mahle high comp pistons, Stahl headers, Eibach shorter springs, Bilstein Sports, 22mm front and 19mm rear swaybars, negative camber plates, upper aluminium stress bars, Nardi steering wheel, dual point mechanical advance, Bosch Super coil, 14" wheels, etc. The other one I still have is a '73 tii with a sunroof that is all stock. When I got it back in the early '90's it was painted gunmetal gray (with the original black interior) but was maroon originally. I think I might redo it in either the original maroon or back to my original 02's Colorado Orange.
